Chapter 472: Breaking Free
After knowing that Old Man Zhao had returned to the countryside, Lin Yuzhu no longer cared about them.
The Zhao family is no longer a threat and has completely disappeared from their lives, and the Lin family also has brothers and sisters-in-law watching over them.
From then on, they were finally able to break free from these constraints.
Lin Yuzhu was extremely happy, as if until this moment, the shadow that had weighed on her heart for her entire life in her previous life had finally disappeared completely.
Recently, everyone in the family can see that she is in a good mood.
Shuyao took the opportunity to tell her that she wanted to participate in the speech contest organized by the school.
Although Lin Yuzhu didn't know when Shuyao started to like public speaking, she still supported her.
"Okay, go ahead and join us. When is the competition? What preparations should you make? Will there be spectators? Mom can go and cheer you on."
Shuyao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. "It will be held next Friday. I had no intention of participating, but my Chinese teacher thought I was suitable. The school competition is a preliminary round, so there will be no audience. I heard that there will be audiences when the city-wide competition comes."
Lin Yuzhu was even more surprised after hearing this. "Oh, it's a city-wide competition. You must prepare well, but don't be nervous. Since the teacher asked you to participate, it proves that you have the ability. Mom believes in you. It doesn't matter whether you are selected or not. The important thing is to participate."
Shuyao sighed when she heard it, "I know, I didn't have much confidence to begin with, but the teacher thought I spoke too loudly and asked me to give it a try, but I've never participated before and I don't know if it will work."
Seeing that she still lacked confidence, Lin Yuzhu asked, "Did your teacher tell me how to prepare?"
Shuyao nodded and said, "She said that the teacher asked me to stay after school to learn public speaking from her, and I also have to write my own speech."
Lin Yuzhu nodded. "Okay, since the teacher is so concerned, then you should study hard and don't feel pressured. You have never participated before, so the teacher won't blame you even if you lose."
Shuyao listened and thought about it, and seemed to understand, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, Mom, I will work hard."
In the next few days, Shuyao would come home a little later after school. Although Lin Yuzhu didn't seem to care, she was still a little worried because it was her daughter's first competition.
He secretly asked Gu Jingmo about her situation, and also privately gave the teacher some gifts to express his gratitude. After all, the teacher was helping her for free.
Soon, it was the day of the school preliminary competition.
Lin Yuzhu was thinking about this matter while she was at work.
When I got home from get off work, I saw Shuyao running back happily.
"Mom and Dad, I've been selected. I'm going to represent the school in the semi-finals!"
"Really? Shuyao is amazing!" After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her stomach for a whole day. She praised Shuyao so much that she even felt embarrassed, and finally let her go.
While Shuyao went to do her homework, Lin Yuzhu discussed with Zhao Yanshu about sending some more gifts to the teacher.
After all, Shuyao had no experience at the beginning, but now she has passed the preliminary test. It is obvious that the teacher has put a lot of effort into it.
Zhao Yanshu had no objection and listened to her.
So Lin Yuzhu prepared some gifts and sent them over privately. Of course, they were not that expensive, but they were also rare.
The teacher was also flattered after receiving it, after all, giving gifts to teachers was not popular in that era.
However, under Lin Yuzhu's enthusiasm, he could only accept it. He was just secretly thinking that he should pay more attention to Zhao Shuyao in the future, ask her more questions in class, and keep a close eye on her grades, so as not to disappoint her parents...
